Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative study was to elicit client perspectives on the Los Angeles County Full Service Partnership (FSP) program - an adaptation of Assertive Community Treatment (ACT). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 FSP clients. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Two major themes were identified from the interview data: (1) Clients' acknowledgement of the material benefits of the FSP program; and (2) FSP's impact on restoring and stabilizing clients' social and treatment relationships. Interviewees greatly valued the material (i.e., basic needs, housing assistance) and relational (i.e., relationships with providers, restored personal relationships) aspects of the program, but did not ascribe the same degree of value to mental health treatment. Interviewees' emphases on material and relational aspects reflect the status of assertive mental health treatment as an intervention on intermediary determinants of health in the lives of persons diagnosed with serious mental illness.
